Mary in her new Killy ski jacket

All season long, Mary has been talking about buying a new ski outfit. Bucking todays fashion trend of ski separates, however, she has skied most of the season in her red one piece. Well, today was the day.

As it is a rather dreary day at Killington, Mary decided today would be the day to visit some of the local ski shops to find a new ski jacket. This time of year, there are a lot of great deals on equipment and apparel, so Mary decided to do some shopping for next season.

After trying on several different ensembles, Mary called me to meet her at the Forerunner Ski Shop on the Killington Road to see what she had picked out. When the fashion show was over, Mary decided on a red mid-length jacket manufactured by Killy. It comes with all the bells and whistles including a powder skirt, hood, balaclava, goggle chamois, lots of pockets, and detachable fur trim (so Mary) used for apres ski glam (I guess?). It also has a handy dandy ski pass holder built into it's sleeve. I have had a Killy jacket for several years, and this is a feature any season pass holder would not be able to live without once you try it.

While she was still at the Forerunner, Mary also picked up some high visibility Oakley ski goggles to add to her ensemble. So, while today was not a ski day, it did turn out to be a good day for ski related shopping. Let it snow!
